How to remove 3.4..?

[Firebird Phoenix]

So Ive been parting my Firebirds 3.4 engine out, but I can't remove the intake for some reason (caught on something in the back left...I can move it around) and starting to think how hard it would be to unbolt (where?) the engine and remove from the top with a cherry picker since I can't remove from the bottom due to gravel driveyway being unsafe to Jack that high. Thx

Re: How to remove 3.4..?

are you talking about the upper intake??

there might be a vaccuum hose still connected to the back of the plenum...

it's really not very hard to take the 3.4 apart once you have the bolts out from under the cowl.

From personal experience, its best to remove upper intake and valve covers to be able to get it to wiggle out through the top. Also, removing radiator and condensor, timing cover and anything of the front of the engine.
